Juneteenth Reading List ❤️💚🖤

If Juneteenth has you curious and ready to learn a little history, I pulled together a few books that deserve a spot on your reading list. 📚✨

Because contrary to what some folks may think, Juneteenth isn't just another excuse for a cookout and a day off. It marks a pivotal moment in Black American history, with deep roots in the South and a legacy that continues to shape our understanding of freedom, resilience, and community.

So before the hot takes start flying, grab a book. 😉 Knowledge looks good on everybody.

Which one are you adding to your TBR?
